Slain Texas Police Officer Was St. Ann’s School Graduate

Officer David Hofer, 29, of the Euless, Texas police force, who died in an ambush on Tuesday, “grew up in Brooklyn” and served on the NYPD before moving to Texas, according to the Daily News, which also notes that he “graduated from St. Anne’s [sic] High School in Brooklyn” and then from NYU. Reader “Willowtown Cop” first alerted us to the St. Ann’s connection.

We at BHB extend our deepest sympathy to Officer Hofer’s family, his fiancee (he was recently engaged), his friends, and his fellow officers, both his former NYPD colleagues and those on the Euless force.
